Querciabella, Chianti Classico

Past it's prime.

2009 vintage

Surprisingly deep colour. Nose a little dumb. Fruit on palate decent balance but lack of excitement and lift on the finish. Modern style which has removed some edge.

Ganska sluten doft. Körsbär, läder och örter. Smak av klarbär, läder, örter och lakrits. Perfekt drickmogen idag. Hyfsad eftersmak.

2009 vintage

Dusty tannins, barnyard, melted licorice, woody spices, black tea.

Popped and poured. Slightly sour aroma of red fruits and earth. Pleasant cherry and leather flavors, some menthol in the finish. Lovely, delicate, balanced, linear. May add complexity with more time, or maybe not. Right now it's a very good basic Chianti.

Just OK. Fine with pasta. Run of the mill chianti. Past its prime?

2009 vintage

Pretty straight forward Chianti Classico. Dusty, bitter choco covered cherries, a touch of coffee grounds, black licorice, rose water and a nice tannic finish.

Tasted blind. Lighter color, medium weight, very dry. This finished last in our tasting. Nothing too inspiring, but ok.

Très beau nez de chocolat à la menthe et de cerise. La bouche est très typée Sangiovese : Acidité bien présente, tanins fins et élégants, griottes et épices. Légèrement disparates encore, les différents éléments prennent du temps et de l'aération avant de se placer plus harmonieusement. Un très bon Chianti tout à fait typique de l’appellation. Pourrait bénéficier d'encore 2,3 ans de cave. Sinon, prévoir une heure de carafe.

2009 vintage

Medium purplish color. Aromatic nose of chocolate, licorice, cherry liqueur, dried sage, dried thyme. Palate is dry, medium body and tannins, with notes of mint, unripe cherry, raspberry, anise, medium oak, and mineral. Tobacco on the medium length finish.

Tuoksu lakritsinen, kirpsakka, miedosti hapokas Maku pehmeä, keskipitkä, hilloinen, vadelmainen Valmis jo nyt. Testaa silti säilyttää vielä.

Reasonable, balanced, but perhaps it's either stale-dated or it had little going for it to begin with. At $31 a bottle (the price I paid), it showed little fruit, no tannins, limited nose, and none of the musky bits (barnyard, minerality, cheese) that might be of value. Not tight, not fruit-forward, just slack.

I think the wine at this stage is not as good as I had hoped for, it is a bit simplistic, therefor the low rating, not much goes on at the nose, neither the taste.

CORKED

Darkish ruby color, nose of berries and spice, medium bodied with nice fruit, some floral accents, and nice spice. Good acidity level, not particularly long finish, and a bit bitter at the back end. Pleasant bottle had at Pizza Fresca in NYC. Went well with the pizza

A nice but not outstanding Chianti Classico, bright fruit on the nose and similar bright fruit on the palate. Noticeable acidity, light tannins and a decent finish make this a pleasant wine, but for $26.99 I was expecting a more full bodied wine.

Bert rich and full wine Nice tanines without being overwhelming

2009 vintage

(13.5%). Nice, rich fruit here but still remains (berry) fresh and focused. Creamy, soft finish with warm tannins. What a nice job of straddling the line to deliver all the best of the new world while showing restraint. The first Chianti I've enjoyed in ages. Not cheap, at $26, but worth the price of entry.

The 2011 Querciabella was richer, darker and more forward than the ’10, showing red berries, wood spices and Tuscan dust. On the palate, tart red berries with hints of spice prevailed, staying juicy and rich throughout. The finish showed saturating red fruits and hints of earth. This wine was beautiful on this day and will likely improve a little over the next few years, but it’s so good now, who can resist?

Chianti Classico tasting- the black rooster crows at the dawn of a new age (Allerton Hotel, Chicago IL) : Nose: Nice and straightforward nose with good tones of licorice, red fruits, cherries, and some spice tones. Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity and some supporting tannins. Well balanced with tones of licorice, red fruits, and spice tones. Overall: This is a nice and straightforward Chianti Classico. It is lacking depth, but is easy drinking and good.
